The totems in the Chiricahuas are amazing, and there are so many of them. It reminded me of hiking Bryce canyon, but not in red rock. At every turn the next balanced rock is more impressive than the last, sprinkled with green lichen, and the sunlight providing a beautiful reflective light on the columns.
Alligator Juniper,
Pinion Pines,
Tall pines,
So many other plants hosting birds, particularly the Acorn Woodpecker. They seem to have taken up residence, and are flocking thru the park.
Wild Turkeys,
In search of Montezumas Quail
Coati, or Coatimundi?
The elusive Javelina-
Rock Totems and balancing rocks, countered by the Alligator Juniper, and tall pine trees. What an impressive landscape!
There are so many lines, curves and textures to fit in a frame, though the 2 dimensions have a way of making something fantastic, profoundly boring.
